Resolved Issues
Key | Summary | Notes |
|---|---|---|
VS-1293 | Final approval fails when Jira projects are configured with a Signatures field | Improved the Jira Server App to create a new custom read-only field type that can support more than 255 characters. Jira Server customers can now create a Signatures field using the new custom field type to solve the character limit.
The Jira Cloud App was updated to detect if the signatures data is too large and write a simple message in its place to see Vera for more signature information. |

VS-2649 | When last record is deleted from paginated table, user is left on page with no records found | Fixed an issue that wasn’t displaying any row after deleting the single row from the last page.

Known Issues and Limitations
Key | Summary | Known Issue Details |
|---|---|---|
VS-139 | "Pending Tasks" field refreshes too slowly after route withdrawal. | The Pending Tasks field in qTest and Jira is not immediately updated when the record is approved or rejected in VERA. The cached values are updated when the user invokes a browser refresh. |
VS-698 | VERA cannot create a qTest record if two fields in the record have the same name | The VERA-qTest integration does not support importing records from qTest where the record has two fields with the same name. If such a record is routed for approval from qTest, then an error will occur. |
VS-700 | User sees duplicate approval tasks for the same record in approval queue | If an approval route contains two pending tasks for the same role (e.g. two Technical approvals) then an eligible approver will see both tasks in their queue. |
VS-988 | Vera does not apply a default approval route | If a record is routed for approval that does not match any configured route templates, the user will see an error message indicating the record was proceed by Vera, but there was no Approval Route configured for the record. In qTest the Approval Route field is updated with the message: "An error occurred while adding the specified record to the VERA route repository" |
VS-1064 | An error is displayed when splitting an issue in the standard VERA Jira workflow | Atlassian’s create issue property prevents the splitting of a record. Combined with inconsistencies around workflow permissions, the error message displayed is currently unable to be addressed. |
VS-1065 | A misleading error message is displayed when VERA cannot apply a final approval | VERA will display a misleading error message when it fails to transition a Jira issue in the workflow. The error message displayed to the user will indicate that there is a connectivity problem, even if it's actually a configuration problem. |
VS-1591 | Password content can break qTest integration | Using a colon character (":") in the qTest Service Account password causes the qTest integration to fail. The colon character (":") is not supported and should not be used in service account passwords. |
VS-2864 | User GUID is displayed instead of display name | Custom fields with a user selection dropdown display in the web portal as the user’s ID rather than the user’s name. |
VS-3346 | MongoDB cannot connect when password is not encoded | MongoDB passwords must be URI encoded for MongoDB specifications. See link for more details: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/connection-string/ |
